Title: 160 Meters Post by: WA1HZK on May 24, 2019, 05:10:08 PM Is it just me or is 160 Meters dead?
I never seem to hear anything on that band except for some CW down at the bottom. Maybe it's the time but usually in the afternoon and early evening when I'm listening to 75 I check the 160 rcvr. and never hear anything?

Threw out some CQs but no takers. Yes it was a little noisy, but doable. Managed to bag a QSO this morning on 1.885 with a station in VA, but it was a challenge. We'll keep on monitoring. Never ever give up!
